'The Beautiful Life' cancelled'

Troubled actress Mischa Barton is out of work.

And she's not alone. That's because there won't be a long life for the CW's "The Beautiful Life."

The network shut down production on the glitzy drama produced by Ashton Kutcher and starring Barton after just two episodes, a network official confirmed Friday.

The series was set in the high-gloss world of the New York modeling scene. Besides Barton, the show starred Corbin Bleu and Elle McPherson.

"The Beautiful Life" was paired with "America's Next Top Model" Wednesdays at 9 p.m. It launched with middling reviews, and to an audience of 1.4 million viewers, according to The Nielsen Company. The audience dropped to just 1 million in the second week.

Six episodes of the show were shot before the CW pulled the plug. The show is off the network's lineup immediately, and a replacement will soon be named, the official said.

The CW will air reruns of "Melrose Place" in the Wednesday at 9 slot.
